How the Future of Search Should Be?

In the Google Age, it is typical to become familiar with the specific
side of the information, and skip the rest of the context. Although it
is the most popular information among site viewers, there might be
something else you should know.

For example, living in Japan, there are very few chances to get to know
about the Third World. What if there is a link to a website of NGO when
you search about your favorite lable?

Of couse search services are there to help you to find out what you want
to know, but they could be a trigger to get to know something you didn't
even know you are better to know.

Tell us what you think. How the future of search should be like?

I do agree with you regarding all the skipped information by people (including myself).
That's why I still like the old style media too....
No solution for it now, but I do wish we can get more information than the one we are searching for.

hello marcos

thanks for your comment.
yes, when you are searching with one specific word, the result will be general,and will never be special only for you.
that would be quite interesting having more narrow results based on each person?

but also I feel like we should know something we dont know, something weve never heard, something we would never know in the future....
How can we search it? how do we know if we need it?...
Have you ever been annoyed by recommendations on online shopping like amazon??
I think we have 2 aspects on this.
"dont give me any" or "tell me more"


uummmm this is very confusing but still interesting!

Thank you again, marcos!!
